That was the Insistent plea that

Chief Clerk Catron In tho office of

Some time later there came another
call, this time from the wardens.
"There aro 16 head In the hen!,"
said Sandry. "When the deer saw
us coming they made a bolt for the
woods and one of them ran Into the
fence and broke its neck. What
shall we da with It?"
They wero ordered to make a re
port before a justice and Ret an or
der and then to turn the meat over
to some charitable Institution.
This they did. Justice Wertz or
dering the meat distributed among
a number of poor families.
"When wo found the doer," stated
Mr. Sandry Tuesday, "they were eat

them and they started to run. One
ran Into n woven wire fence so hard
that he Instantly broke his neck. Wc
then had to make an affidavit to It.

"GOVERNOR WEST-ojight jwt to hrt naked to defy tho

should not he asked to overthrow the ballot box. He
should not he asked o repeal the election returns. He
should not he asked to substitute the will ol' the minority
for the will of the majority in the government of Oregon.
v The people ordained' and from that edict there
should he no appeal, except by another ballot of the people.
There fa no higher authority."
The above is from the esteemed Portland .Journal. The
occasion, the foolish petitions well meaning persons are
signing requesting the governor not to hang murderers
after the people hav voted that the Lord giveth, but man
taketli away.
Tho Journal's point, is well taken. The petitions but
needlessly embarras the executive who has already gone
the limit to abolish capital punishment. He has no alter
native but to prepare the noose.
The attention of the .Journal, stanch defender of the
people's will, is respectfully called to another attempt to
override tho expressed mandate of the people this not by
sentimentalists seeking to save human life, but by soulless
corporations backed by greedy jobbers with porcine ten
dencies secretly ahhetted by a flaccid and complaisant
railroad commission, an occasion calling for vigorous de
fense of the people's rights as expressed at the polls
yen tue stauncn journalistic tribune ot tlte people is
strangely silent.
The initiative railroad freight rate bill carried bv a
vote of 56.S09 in the affirmative to M,710 in the negative.
Jt swept every county in the state by substantial major
ities, except two, which returned small votes against the
measure indicating in no uncertain manner, the will of
the people.
No sooner was the result known than the railroads
began their calamity howl and the Portland jobbers their
unwitting wails. The Portland press was filled with con
tradictory clap-trap and the state railroad commission
Minounced that the courts must interpret the statute and
"requests for interpretation will be declined by the com
mission" for the first time on record. Rut the bill is so
clearly drawn that it needs no interpretation.
Though a month lias passed .since, the hill became a
law, the railroads have ignored it, and the commission
made no effort to enforce it.
junketing in the east. And
an injunction not from the
state law but from the federal courts.
If tho federal courts sustain the railroads, which is
much to be doubted, they will in effect decide that the
people of a sovereign state have no right to regulate rail
road rates for traffic whollv within the state. Til IS
RIO IT OF THE PEOPLE OF OUEdOX TO .MAKE

journalistic defenders of the people's rights are battling
in behalf of the people.
Will it be government by the people if a court can by
'ts edict, at the request of venal corporations, overthrow
tlie will of the people? Xo more than it would be for
Governor West to overthrow
refusing to execute sentenced murderers. It it can be
done in one case, it can be done in all cases. The very
irinciple of popular government is at stake the
JESTRUCTfON OF THE OREGON SYSTEM IS

THREATENED.
Changing the subject, not the words or the principle
involved, the Journal's editorial reads as follews:

Yet it is left to the country papers to present the mat

Portland jobbers upon all of Oregon is likely to be loosened

A REWARD
ANLLUBER of democrats are seeking appointment as
superintendent of the Crater National park. None
of them are especially qualified for the task. None, of
thoni have done anything to merit the appointment. Jt is
tho usual scramble 'for the pic-counter.
There is, however, one person who is pre-eminently
cMiMlii'ipil for the nosition and who. for the future of the
park, should have it, and that person is Will O. Steel.
-More politics should not bo allowed to nueriere wun me
appointment.
Jt is duo solely to Mr. Steel that there is such a national
park. For thirty 'years ho labored unselfishly for its crea
tion. All the money spent in its creation came from his
personal funds. lie has spent year after year lobbying in
He lioimlf nnil if i dun. ljivcrelv to his efforts that the ap
propriation for its improvement was made. He is the
author of the proposed systom ol roans niniscn, kuuwh
nvni'i' vnnlv- mid enmnv iii the park and is bv all means
the best qualified for its superintendency.
Mr. Steel is not financially interested in the park or its
concessions, having disposed of his interests in the Crater
Lake company. Jlis appointment woum not oiuy no a
gracious recognition of his lifelong efforts in its behalf,
but for tho best interest of tho park and a source of gmti
fication to the many friends of the mystic lake.
